We’ve all had those kinds of trips that we know we have to go on (aka those work trips), but we’re dreading the whole time leading up. Whether it’s that fifth business trip to Des Moines this year, visiting the parental units in Florida or the yearly trek to your companies retreat in Seattle – these are obligations, not vacations. However, turning an obligation into a vacation can be one of the best win-win strategies around.

On This Podcast Episode:

On this week’s Travel Episode we are cracking the code on those obligation trips and turning them into “obli-vations.” We are talking eating like locals, exploring a new part of town and people watching at the neighborhood watering hole. Also, discover ways you can use your credit card to rack up some serious rewards while you’re on your obligation trip – and then how you can turn those points into a vacation of your dreams (or at least something enjoyable).

2017 has almost felt at times as the year of the disaster, from hurricanes in Texas, Florida and the Caribbean to earthquakes in Mexico and wild fires around the country. California’s Wine Country, which is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world was hit particular hard by devastating fires, wiping out homes, businesses and an estimated 22 wineries were destroyed or damaged in the fires.

While there is still a long road ahead for many of these wineries with years of rebuilding and replenishing their vineyards, the rest of the California Wine Country is open for business.

Home to some of the best wines, restaurants and beautiful scenery in the world, California Wine Country needs more than ever for travelers to keep on traveling to its region and wine lovers to keep on drinking, loving and or course buying their wines.
